RE: “It`s Not How Old You Are, It`s How You Are Old.” ― Jules Renard
You are a precious gem @reddust and this post resonates with me on so many levels.
When I was younger I feared the unknown which meant everything new was an unknown. Being an Aspie I finally got sick of getting in my own way and made the decision to try stuff and hope it didn't hurt or kill me. I think a lot of that fear was what other people would think of me because I've always felt different.
If I could go back in time and tell my younger self one thing, it would be "No one get's to live in my head for free anymore!" You've got that right, sister!
My Mom had me tested for Aspergers when I was 2 years old. The doctor told her I was just sensitive. I didn't like her smoking, she smelled awful so I avoided hugging her and I hated scratchy clothes! Because of that history I researched aspergers and resonate with many of the symptoms. We are on an individual bases so different from one another, people fake being the trendy norm and that makes them so boring. I cherish your uniqueness @merej99, aspies can't fake who they are and that makes you gold to me!
